Would You Have a Drink With You? This is the question that Stolichnava Vodka is posing to its audience in a new ad campaign that will feature multiple celebrities, including Hugh Hefner and Julia Stiles.
Conceptualized by advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather, the campaign consists of print ads and commercials, challenging the consumer to ponder if they have what it takes. “Are you daring enough? Are you an original? Are you experiencing and living your life in an authentic, interesting way? Are you someone you’d want to share a Stoli with?” Continue Reading »
A few days ago, President Barack Obama met with the new British Prime Minister, David Cameron. The two enjoyed a light banter on, what else, the subject of beer. Each brought a beer from their area of the world to exchange with the other. Obama represented Chicago with Goose Island 312, while Cameron pimped out Hobgoblin from Wychwood Brewery in his home constituency, Whitney. Continue Reading »

Okay, so technically the video has nothing to do with the world of fine beverage except for the fact that it uses coffee as a way to parody the oil crisis affecting the Gulf Coast.

This video is pretty awesome. Taking a trip through Japan’s rich cultural heritage, this video gives you a glimpse of the brewing process behind Sapporo. It may not be how it’s actually brewed, but if the creators of Avatar met with the creators of Kung Fu Panda and Fern Gully, and then they went to the Wonka Factory to see how the Oompa Loompas took an ordinary task and made it absolutely fascinating to watch, this is what they would envision.
